Twenty years ago, four teenagers at summer camp walked into the woods at night. Two were found murdered, and the others were never seen again. Four families had their lives changed forever. Now, two decades later, they are about to change again. For Paul Copeland, the county prosecutor of Essex, New Jersey, grief at the loss of his sister has only recently begun to subside. Cope, as he is known, is now dealing with raising his 6-year old daughter alone after his wife has died of cancer. Balancing family life and a rapidly ascending career as a prosecutor distract him from his past traumas, but only for so long. When a homicide victim is found with evidence linking him to Cope, the well-buried secrets of the prosecutor's family are threatened. Is this body one of the campers who disappeared with his sister? Could his sister be alive? Cope has to confront so much he left behind that summer 20 years ago: his first love, Lucy, his mother who abandoned the family, and the secrets that his parents might have been hiding even from their own children. Cope must decide what is better left hidden in the dark and what truths can be brought to the light. And can he find absolution?O Once again Harlan Coben delivers his unique mix of powerful characters, lightning pace and twists in a stunning new novel about family, lost secrets and mistakes that can haunt a life forever.

Twenty years ago, Paul Copeland lost his sister when four teenagers disappeared from the woods near summer camp. Paul was in the forest at the time, but had broken away from the group with his girlfriend, Lucy. Only one body was found, though there blood from all four children at the site. Camille, Paul's sister was never seen again.
Now Copeland is a top prosecutor involved in a high profile case to nail down two teenage frat-boy rapists. A widower and lone parent, he has long since lost touch with Lucy - and any hope of seeing his sister again.
But his life is thrown into turmoil when a dead body turns up along with newspaper clippings about Paul. When taken to the morgue, Paul realizes that before him on the slab is the grown-up corpse of one of the missing boys from two decades ago. While trying to grapple with what this could mean, someone else is watching Paul - and making increasingly audacious attempts to scare him off, threatening to expose old cold war crimes of his father.
Is his sister alive? And who is now setting out to destroy Paul's reputation and why? A searing mystery of blood ties and the dark chaos that can be unleashed in an ordinary life, Harlan Coben once again delivers his unique mix of powerful characters, lightning pace and whiplash-inducing twists that has endeared him to readers worldwide.
